Product Promotion

As I am getting settled in DC,  setting up my studio, and scoping out awesome outdoor local sites, I will be focusing some time and attention on product promotion.  If you make any baby/child wear that you would like professional pictures of I would be happy to help you.  In addition to receiving a professional photo,  your products will be advertised on my facebook fan page.  If you are interested please  contact me!

Operation Relocation COMPLETE

We made it!  The "Plankattistas" are all moved in and settled in DC.  I really think we are going to like it here... a lot, we've been having a ball so far!  I have a natural light studio that is amazing.  I can't wait to get my business up and running here and in the meantime I will be taking many pics of the kids in this awesome space :)  Today I snapped a couple of Ander rocking in a chair that was his daddy's as a child.  I canNOT believe I will be doing his one year portraits soon.  He's growing and changing so fast and is an absolute doll.  And I'm not just saying that because he's mine :D

Little Brady is one!

I got to play with this cute little man in his home this morning and do his one year old portrait pictures.  I went to college with his mom and dad and was so happy they chose me to take on the task!    Those eyes and those CURLS!  I don't know if his mommy will ever have the heart to cut those gorgeous locks and I don't blame her. :)  Thanks H and Goose, I hope you enjoy your preview!

 

Twin blessings...

I had the pleasure of photographing these beautiful twin boys both yesterday afternoon and this morning.  Their lives are a true blessing and celebration.  Nearly one year ago they were born prematurely and spent a lot of time in the NICU.  Today they are happy, healthy and whole... inside and out.  I am so honored to have had the opportunity to do photos for this wonderful family.

My new little "niece"!!!!

I came to Chicago this weekend to meet my best friend's new baby girl.  Amanda and I were sorority sisters in college and have been bust buds ever since.  Seems like just yesterday we were partying... uh-hum...I mean studying... at U of I.  Now here I am photographing her beautiful family and second baby.  So cool :)

Boys Boys Boys!

This afternoon I met with the Birmingham family winner of my Cutest Baby/Tot Contest.  Cooper won the contest with his brother Brooks a mere one vote behind him.   Big brother Jackson was too old to be entered but gosh, the entire family is so darn cute!  These boys gave me quite the workout but I had so much fun. :)  Big thank you again to all of my contest participants and voters!!!

This morning's family shoot!

I met this adorable family out at Aldridge Gardens this morning.  It wasn't exactly super warm but they were troopers and I had so much fun with them!  Little Mr. J loved throwing pine cones in the water and he and his daddy even saw a snake...  Mrs. V was less than thrilled hearing about the legless creature :)  Little Miss A.S. was content as long as she had her soothie and blanket or was in her mommy's arms.  I am honored to have had the opportunity to capture such wonderful moments of this beautiful family...
